It's been a while since I posted, about two weeks by my calculations. This was mostly due, in the beginning, to the croup invasion of my home attacking all of my boys. It was fairly ugly here for a few days and Dave and I were mere shells of ourselves. Then I caught whatever it is adults catch when there is croup in the house. Dave even took yesterday off because I was too sick to move. I'm better today – a day in bed does help – so I thought I would pop in and tell you what's been up.

Mostly croup.

But we did have some Halloween fun.

He wasn't at all sure about this. He warmed up to the idea when the candy angle became clear.

See that rip at the bottom? This was Ryan's costume, I think, it's been here forever and I think it will have to go after this week.

Iron Man (I didn't know who that was) and a sailor girl.

Don't look at my ugly futon cover.

That blue head does not belong to one of my children. This was the great candy exchange that went on later at Chris'. Chris hosts a spaghetti dinner every Halloween and the older kids trick-or-treat there.

So those are the very few pictures I took since I was hacking and wheezing. I will be back again soon, right now I am going to go jump up and down over election returns. 🙂

Stop with the ugly futon cover thing –I like it! Wait until you see my bed set, flowers galore!
The kids are ADORABLE. Especially Brendan. Sorry to hear about the croup –though happy to say we didn’t bring it home with us.

I’m sorry to hear you have been ill and glad you are feeling better. There’s nasty cough stuff going around all over. It’s nice you still got to have some trick or treat fun – love the pics! (even the futon – I’m a floral kind of girl)
